Break These Chains
Clare Maguire Lyrics

I just don’t believe
The singer lacks faith in themselves

I’m ready for today
The singer is not prepared for the present

This paranoid pain is coming back again
The singer is experiencing recurring episodes of anxiety or fear

Oh that picture Momma placed
The artist dislikes a photograph that their mother displayed in the home

By the window how I hate my face
The artist dislikes their own physical appearance

And there’s people all outside
There are others present in the vicinity

Behind the curtains silver lines
There are hidden motives or secrets being kept by these people

With all their lies
The people are being deceptive

They’re all like mine all like mine
The artist feels that they have something in common with these people

But when the wind blows
When the situation changes

I’ll go I’ll go
The singer will leave or move on from the current situation

And I will be released
The artist will be liberated from their current suffering

Break these chains set me free
The singer wants to break free from their emotional pain

I can think of brighter days
The singer remembers happier times

They were golden in a way
Those memories were special and precious

Words were not this grey
Communication used to be clearer and more honest

But now prices will be paid
There will be consequences for past actions

When I walk in the path
When the singer follows in the footsteps of others

Of all you guilty ones someday
Those who have caused harm will eventually face consequences

Cause I cannot help my heart
The artist can't control their emotions

When it’s beating in the dark
When the artist is feeling hopeless and alone

Afraid next time I won't cry
The artist is worried they will lose their ability to feel

And when the times change
When the situation changes

I’ll go away I’m away
The artist will leave or move on from the current situation

Like a pilot I will fly
The singer will take control and soar above their current problems

Way up in the sky
The singer will rise above their current circumstances

I’ll be free I’ll be high high high
The singer will achieve a sense of liberation and euphoria

So I can be released
The artist wants to be freed from their current emotional suffering

Praying on my knees
The artist is humbling themselves and appealing to a higher power

That I can be released
The singer hopes to be liberated from their emotional pain

I will be released oh
The singer has faith that they will be liberated

And I will be released
The artist will be liberated from their current suffering

Break these chains set me free
The artist wants to break free from their emotional pain

Set me free
The artist wants to be free from their emotional pain
